Digibeta is a good format but it's not HD. It's SD.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BetacamSo, a HD-DVD or a Blue Ray DVD made from Digibeta master will come out just in SD not HD resolution.
HD made from SD has only SD resolution. Selling it as HD is fraud. But the HD masters of recent Bollywood films are not on Digibeta. They are on D5 or HDCAM SR tape, both full 1080p HD formats. The Digibetas are made from these for SD sources (for DVD, TV). Or they are telecined from a film element. The HD can come from film elements or a digital intermediate (best solution). If from DI quality can be superb as in Hollywood HD disks such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" or Matrix 2 and 3.
and the best of all, new BR DISC of GHOST RIDER..man! Sound was unheard off! iand I thought 5.1 PCM uncompressed sounded better than TRUE HD in this case!
Even I could hear wind blowing lol
But my question was if we can get BR, LAGAAN, MK, ASOKA..I'll be contented!on the other side, Mehta's WATER, BHwood etc
